But it is an example of one drug being useful for something other than what it was originally intended for like perhaps Viagra, was supposed to be a treatment for hypertension but had other uses;!..

Sometimes you have to potter around with various combinations before hitting on the right one, or better still combinations, and that can take some time..
For instance the Amlodpine works in the arteries and the Valsarten does better for the return vein flow....
